Sam Symons…maybe youre new here….
Or/ Theres no “W” in Neowin! I think many will remember the “debate” that I got into with challenges of Neowin staff. No, I never got an appology nor did Chakaradeep ever justify his silly (IMO) baseless remark open OpenSUSE. However Id moved on. When I challenged the maturity of Marshalus and his comments I … Continue reading »
OFFICE 2007 SP2 – ODF Support
A short snippet of news here. Microsoft have released SP2 for their Office package today, much Im sure to the delight of many. SP2 offers (amongst other things) support for the ODF format (Open Document Format) natively, which before could only be achieved via a plugin. As PC World comments: “Microsoft’s lack of native support … Continue reading »
Windows 7 XP Mode..at a price?
Keeping on the theme of Microsoft value, its been reported (although I mentioned the rumor over the weekend on Twitter) that Microsoft will be offering an XP VM mode with its Professional and Ultimate editions. Great news? Well yes and no. Firstly this news to me suggests that XP is far more important to Enterprise … Continue reading »
Klibido v0.2.5 – USENET Binaries client – A functional blast from the past?
A short and sweet review! Since changing my newsgroup provider to the excellent TigerUSENET (my experiences coming soon), I took the opportunity to play around with a few newsgroup binary readers, only to find that Im happiest (and get best results with) a package that was discontinued a good time ago and still in an … Continue reading »

Firstly, (and again) thank … Continue reading »
A Microsoft fail agenda? – Yes Blevdog, I do want to discuss.
The title of this article will be made clear shortly as Ive had an “exchange” of posts with a Microsoft employee on Twitter. Being that most of you have read previous conversations, I think you know what to expect, but suffice to say I will continue to look for someone who is willing to hold … Continue reading »

Digg is reported to have ended its exclusive advertising partnership with Microsoft over a year before it was due to expire. The deal, which began in 2007 was … Continue reading »
A trend has started! – Two unblocks in as many days!
It started the other day when I reported that Chakkaradeep had unblocked me from his Twitter. I took that as an encouraging sign and half expected Chakkaradeep to either appologize for what I considered to be a misleading statement about OpenSUSE or actually justify it. Obviously the later is not possible (IMO) as there are … Continue reading »
